I didn't highlight the Ominbus stuff, though I've read them in those phonebook black and white collections...EDIT: I went and fixed the fact I've read the Omnibus stuff, just in it's black and white form. I also forgot I do indeed own the Silver Surfer GN by Kirby and Lee and have read it...

Comments

Hey, man, you have GOT to read Diary of a Teenage Girl. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Thanks for playing the home version of our game! :-)
I've always wanted to read that book. Next time I get in to The Beguiling, I'll look into picking it up...
Make sure you tell Butcher and Peter I sent ya; they think my taste is in my ass after the Kramers Ergot thing, so maybe they'll start to forgive my trespasses if I turn you on to something as great as Diary of a Teenage Girl.
LOL!! I'm pretty sure I'm there too, though I've always kind of felt I've been there!! When Peter knew who I was, I nearly jumped outta my skin...
:D

This list is ass

No Sin City? No Maus? No Dark Knight Returns? No Killing Joke?

Re: This list is ass

Hmmm...I'm trying to find an argument about your picks, and the only one I can get on is Killing Joke. Is it really a "graphic "novel", or just a deluxe comic (what the Hell does DC call these slightly less flimsy format books?)? I wouldn't consider it a graphic novel. The others , yeah, I think they'd make my personal list...
